For English class, I have to pick a book that was either written by a woman or features female characters in leading roles. The teacher gave us a list of possible books to read, but it's filled with people like Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott - in other words, books that I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in reading. I wanted to read Stephen King or something, but the teacher said that he's too popular and she wants us to choose "a piece of literature that you wouldn't normally pick up." We can choose a book that isn't on the list, so I decided to ask here for help. Does anyone know of any books that fit the above criteria without being totally boring? She said that it doesn't have to be a historical book, and that it could be modern if we want, but I have no idea what I should pick. Help, please!
